Wind noise in small rear windows

I have wind noise in the small rear windows of my 03 maxima. It is heard at around 70 to 80 mph. I took it to the dealer and they said we didn't hear anything as we test drove it at 55 mph. What should I do?

I can hear my wind noise at much slower speeds then 70 or 80. My dealer coudn't fix it either, i'm just living with it, i guess i'm getting used to it.

Damn, I wanted to be the one to scream "search!" at the top of my lungs before jjs got in. It's easy to fix, takes 5 minutes

There is a known issue with the window seal for the rear. They will have to order a new seal for the entire window frame. It is a known issue. I had mine done 3 times.

Is it fixed, or do you still have the wind noise?

OK people... there are a few TSBs for windnoise, but they seem to be for the 2k-2k1 Max. The 2k2 introduced a new type of windnoise, coming from the INTERNAL part of the window frame. Please read my posts in these threads for more info:

The repairs were covered under warranty...
